Incendiary throw at fleeing kid @3:26. Kids gets cornered in parking lot with aggressor. Shots are fired, kid flees, and we're already acquainted with what happens after.
I'm guessing the aggressors in the earlier part of the video tried setting up an ambush, peeled the kid off from his group, and had things go poorly for them. Ambush tactics by the black bloc on small/separated groups are actually pretty common if you decide to peruse youtube for examples.

There are two major obstacles preventing people on the Right from responding to these riots in force.
(a) The selective application of justice which is now the status quo in Democrat controlled areas. The local Democrat authorities have shown that they will allow Leftist mobs to assault people and property with impunity -- however, you can rest assured that any Right-wing efforts to protect innocent lives, homes, and businesses will be prosecuted to the nth degree.
(b) The corporations that control media -- both mainstream and social -- are firmly in the Left's pocket, and will do everything in their power to paint any & all Right-wing resistance as racist, fascist, white supremacist, etc.
The Right has the advantage in terms of arms and people who are actually willing and able to do battle. Antifa and BLM are good at mobilizing and ganging up on people, but as we've seen they fold immediately when met with actual armed resistance. None of them would be worth a shit in a real combat scenario against a determined foe.
Still, I'm still not sure attempting to take serious counter-revolutionary action under these conditions is a wise move. If you look at public opinion measures that aren't contaminated by Leftist propaganda, the more Antifa and BLM commit violence against people and property, the more the average person's opinion of them sours. I think there is a clearly identifiable reduction in support for BLM now compared to say, a couple days after the George Floyd incident.
It's hurting the Biden campaign and helping Trump, and regardless of his flaws, getting Trump re-elected is something absolutely necessary at this point. I wasn't concerned about an Obama victory back in 2008, but look at how far things have fallen in just 12 years. What we are seeing now is the fruit of the seeds that were planted back then. I don't want to know what seeds a Biden Harris presidency will plant, or what the US will look like after they bloom.

So the POTUS is sending a Federal task force to Kenosha.
ETA: Kenosha County Board of Supervisors requested 1,500 National Guardsmen with law enforcement powers to put down the riots.

Ok, so the AG named the officer involved in the shooting. Per the article, his girlfriend who he's wanted for domestic abuse sexual assault against is the one who called the cops.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said Jacob Blake had knife in car but would not clarify if responding officers knew about it
Warrant for his arrest was issued on 7 JUL 20.

Not too weird. Kenosha sits right on the border of IL. The kid's town of Antioch just happens to be on the IL side of the border a few miles away. To me the fleeing charge is silly; it's a short and reasonable drive. He simply went home.
I'm sure they'll try to make an example out of him. I don't know how the law reads in WI but a murder one charge seems overreacting based on what little I've seen so far.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the young man turn himself into the police? If so then they had to have released him in order for him to drive him. thus it seems no charges. If I turned myself in and wasn't put in jail then I guess I would have felt it was okay to go home.
He fled the state

From what I've seen in various videos and coverage: immediately following the shootings, he approached a police line with several vehicles, hands raised. Them seem to have ignored him, and just driven past.
What I suspect: I think he tried to turn himself in, was ignored, then went home. Cops may not have realized he was the shooter (there were multiple armed folks in the videos), and were more concerned with providing care to the wounded, then he fell through the cracks.

^I used to laugh at those who posted about Marxist ties and high ranking Democrats who abided by the "Rules for Radicals" book during the Obama administration. Not anymore.

Minneapolis last night -
I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how/why looting and rioting are productive forms of “protesting”.

Looks like more of those white supremacists from out of town that the mayor and governor told us about.
For those that are unaware, rioting took place last night in Minneapolis' downtown business and retail district. This was not a result of what took place in Kenosha. Nope, this was the result of a completely false rumor that a black man who a suspect in a homicide in a parking ramp earlier in the day was shot in the head by police. Completely false. The man ate his own gun, in public, as police closed in on him. The incident was caught on surveillance cams:
*WARNING: This video contains graphic images* This evening, a murder suspect committed suicide as police approached them at 8th & Nicollet. No officer weapons were fired. This is a tragedy for our community that is still hurting. Our condolences go to the families of the victims.
@Ooh-Rah , can you help add a NSFW/Graphic button for the Twitter above? I searched for instructions on how do this but am obviously challenged and can no longer find them - can't even find the help forum anymore.
ETA: Disregard. MPD appears to have deleted the Tweet. Nonetheless, I would like to know how to add the spoiler button.

In the circled image select spoiler, then add whatever title you'd like. Once you do that, you'll see the coding appear in your text box, just insert your link or whatever you'd like in between the brackets.
